Prelude VTEC's 7th speaker not working...
Hey, I've actually had this problem for awhile now but never asked about it. Well I have a 96 Prelude VTEC that has the factory 6x9 speaker between the rear seats that acts as a mini-sub I guess. I put in a new head unit I bought from Circuit City with a harness I bought there too. It's a Sony CDX-CA650X (yeah, not too great) and during radio playback most of the bass comes from the 6x9, but during CD playback it seems like the 6x9 is disabled and all of the bass comes from the two rear 6.5 speakers. There's a noticable difference and I've tried reconnecting the harness and looking thru the menu for some option that might disable the 6x9. Anyways, I'm lost because if the speaker works during radio playback, it's got to be connected correctly right? Any help would be appreciated...

Nope I can't hear ANY noise at all, and I did play around with the settings in both radio and CD playback but still no bass coming out of the speaker. Thanks though, anything else I could try? Maybe it might be the deck itself?

did you buy the new harnesses from circuit city that need no stripping & crimping? just 100% plug and play.
ive hear of sooo many problems with those plug and play harnesses about not working 100% and they will short one of the wires, alot of times a speaker wire, remote, or pwr antenna.
try a different harness?
